    i think korobov is gonna beat bjs. quillen would have put up a better fight. imo...ggg and korobov are the cream of the crop at 160. quillen is still developing. the wbo is a crap title anyway. he'll get another crack at another title. eventually...he's going to have to face top opposition. there's no way around that. but in the meantime, he skips that fight and gets back in line. it's a roll of the dice...but i think he and his ppl knew he wasn't going to beat korobov.

    hate is very unbecoming of a gentlemen. i'd say it's behavior you'd come to expect from a bird. don't partake in such behavior mate.

    ignorance is highly contagious which is why i'll bow out of this conversation shortly. don't fret...there's still hope for you.

    Korobov isnt a destructive puncher its not like he was going to ruin his career, and he gave up a payday that he won't get for his combined next 5 fights man, it was a ******ed move. GGG is going to start swallowing up all the belts soon there will be nowhere to hide and Quillen will be out of pocket

    Korobov is solid but theres real monsters in the same mould as ggg about to come on the middleweight scene and no Haymon fighter is going to get a look in from 160 upwards

    when you start judging situations on facts and not racial bias you might become an ok poster

    the california commission doesn't have final say on the matter. from my understanding the battle isn't over. the funny thing is both ortiz and guerrero were in similar situations and both were able to get out of their contract with goossen to sign with golden boy. my guess is ward is getting a different treatment because he's not signing with golden boy. lol.

    unless he is actually starting his own promotional company, expect other promoters to be involved.

    ok put it this way, in soccer players have agent they sort out contracts for players and look after there best interest, basically managers. they aren't going around organising tv deals though, haymon is breaking the ali act and everyone knows it

    i don't follow ring ratings. i'll say this....kovalev is getting taken to school by bhop. and if ward can work out his situation with his promoter...he's taking over lightheavy when he moves up.

    the guy is a harvard educated business man. the networks that are involved also employ very highly educated ppl to run things for them. i'm pretty sure hbo, showtime, nbc and others have legal staff on retainer to discuss all possibilities that may or may not be illegal. if he is breaking the law, expect them to come down on him like the wrath of god. i seriously doubt these networks would be dealing with him if he were breaking laws. the only ones that seem to take issue with him is the competition that is still stuck in the old way of thinking and operating. he's a threat to their ways.

    Ward is going no where near the light heavyweight division, not with the likes of adonis,Kovalev,Beterbiev,Gvodsyk,Mekhontsev around. He has the look of a health comes first fighter

    Bhop is going to get beat to a pulp by kovalev if he doesn't pull a ***** move like fake another back injury. The only reason Bhop feels this fight is winnable is because he carries views that are corrupted similar to yours
